This dissertation examines the construction of whiteness in the Hollywood motion picture industry. The study involves analysis of extensive survey and interview data collected on working actresses of the Screen Actors Guild (motion picture union), prominent casting directors of both film and prime time television, as well as various union (SAG) officials during my fieldwork that began in 1999. Over much of this period, Hollywood was embroiled in a historic power struggle involving a myriad of controversies and national scandals, not to mention the most costly protracted actor strike in history, providing for both a rich and exciting ethnographic experience.

Pay-per-view and cable networks have become a major revenue source ... with pay-per-view channels receiving motion pictures at about the same time as video stores. Some pay and cable networks finance their own feature-length motion pictures. However, these motion pictures usually appear on television first and then may go into international distribution and the DVD sell-through market.
